"Poison!!!"
Seeing the Dragalge in the sea calling to him, the Dhelmise jumped directly into the sea, its excessive weight creating a huge splash on the surface.
Seeing this, Roy also rode his Dragapult to the sea.
The Dragalge was also affected by the splash of water from the Dhelmise. He was about to ask what the Dhelmise had been doing and why it hadn't listened to his commands.
Before the question could even be asked, the sudden appearance of Dragapult on the sea surface put immense pressure on the Poison Dragalge, which instinctively tried to use its venom to attack Dragapult.
But just as the purple seaweed on his sides was raised, it was stopped by the Dhelmise with its chains.
"Rudder!"
"Poison!"
The Dhelmise protruded from the seaweed on the anchor and touched the Dragalge; this was a unique way for the two Pokémon to communicate.
Dhelmise indicates that Dragapult and Roy on his body are not bad people.
In his eyes, Roy gave him good food, so Roy was a good person.
The Dragalge looked at the Dhelmise that was speaking up for humans, feeling puzzled.
Their original target for tonight was the Wailord in the sea, but somehow the Dhelmise malfunctioned.
As soon as it emerged from the sea, it went crazy, throwing the anchor onto the boat, then retrieving it and taking back the rudder.
The whole process took less than 5 seconds. Before he could even react, the Dhelmise disappear.
I only just got off the S.S. Anne's now, but the Dhelmise immediately said that Roy is a good person.
During their exchange, the Dragalge was surprised to find that the originally withered and yellow parts of the Dhelmise Algae had returned to their emerald green color.
Their purpose in hunting the Wailord was to allow Dhelmise to absorb enough Life Energy to restore the withered algae on its body; otherwise, the Dragalge wouldn't have been able to eat a whole Wailord.
But after Dhelmise boarded a human ship, his condition improved in a way he had never seen before; he went from being starving to being stuffed to death.
The Dhelmise emerged from the seaweed, told Roy about the many delicious things he had given him, and then told the Dragalge about Roy's desire for him to go with him.
Watching the Dhelmise constantly waving out seaweed, the Dhelmise itself probably didn't realize that it had become quite cheerful when talking about Roy.
"Rudder!"
After hearing Dhelmise's description, Dragalge understood why Dhelmise had suddenly Anchor Shot and boarded the human ship.
Upon learning that Roy could create the Pokéblock needed to power Dhelmise, he knew it was time to part ways.
The person on the ship could keep the Dhelmise from going hungry, and thus prevent his body from becoming weak.
Then I won't have to suffer with that useless older brother anymore...
As the eldest brother, he certainly hoped that Dhelmise could live a good life with Roy.
The only regret is that after Dhelmise leaves, he may be all alone again.
But none of that matters. What matters is that after the Dhelmise, we can eat our fill every day and not go hungry anymore.
"Poison!"
The Dragalge abruptly shook off the seaweed protruding from the Dhelmise, letting it leave with Roy. Without the Dhelmise, the Dragalge could still live quite well in the ocean.
Faced with the sudden expulsion by the Dragalge, Dhelmise was very reluctant to leave, worried about what would happen to the Dragalge after he left.
Although he wasn't very smart, he knew about the Dragalge's venom and prey, but he couldn't directly kill the prey. Without his help, he would be helpless when encountering large prey.
There are also vengeful Pokémon like Sharpedo that they've provoked in the sea. What if they Beat Up the Dragalge?
"Poison!"
The Dragalge made a move to Spit Up venom to drive away the Dhelmise, indicating that it could live just fine without the Dhelmise!
Roy could tell that Dhelmise and Dragalge had a very good relationship. At first, they probably just relied on each other and cooperated in hunting.
But over time, this bond became no less strong than that between the old Dragonite and Dreepy in Meteor Cave.
"Ahem! How about I say something?"
Watching the Dragalge repeatedly shake off the seaweed protruding from the Dhelmise, Roy interrupted them, "Is there any possibility?"
He has two Poké Ball.
Why not just subdue the Dragalge as well?
Although Roy didn't intend to train a Dragalge, he felt that his teacher would be interested in it.
After all, his teacher was known as the Poison type Elite Four, and Dragalge was also a Poison type Pokémon.
"Poison!"
The Dragalge was taken aback by the idea proposed by the human in mid-air; he had indeed never considered leaving with the human.
However, being Dragon-type Pokémon gives him an innate sense of pride, and he only acknowledges Pokémon Trainer stronger than himself.
A powerful Pokémon Trainer?
"Does that mean that defeating you makes me stronger than you?"
After listening to Roy's words, the Dragalge paused for a moment, then nodded.
"I can help you find a suitable Pokémon Trainer, and that Pokémon Trainer can help you become stronger."
Help yourself become stronger?
Dragon-type Pokémon are inherently governed by the principle of "might makes right."
He's not opposed to having Pokémon Trainer as long as that Pokémon Trainer can help him become stronger.
All Roy wanted to say was that the Pokémon Trainer he found for the Dragalge was absolutely top-tier; Agatha was a regional Elite Four of an entire region, one of the most powerful individuals.
"Then let's have a battle now. If I beat you, you'll come with me, and I'll take you to find a Pokémon Trainer who's even better than me."
"Poison!"
After hearing Roy's suggestion, the Dragalge looked at the Dhelmise was constantly touching its own with seaweed and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the Dragalge dared to accept the challenge, Roy didn't know how it could lose. The Dragalge in front of him was only a Pseudo-Elite Four level Pokémon.
Aside from Pokémon and Dusclops, Palossand of my other Pokémon could easily defeat the Dragalge.
Suddenly, the Poké Ball around Misdreavus's waist shook, and Misdreavus flew out of Poké Ball.
"Dream!"
Misdreavus takes the initiative, and she has the most say when facing Dragon-type Pokémon.
